Can't wait for summer!

Post Reply New Topic

With Winter at our doorsteps with the twin evils of snow and coldness that it threatens to bring, we must brace ourselves for the inevitable ramifications like increased traffic collisions, slow traffic, traffic jams, the inability to go to the store on really snowy days and getting that inescapable cold feeling on your face, unless you're willing to wrap yourselves up with scarves like a mummy.

So, I can't wait until Summer!

(Actually, I'm planning on heading out of my snowy city to somewhere more tolerable when I expand my business to another city, so I'll avoid the brunt of this city's winter. And, if that business fails, I'm heading back to complete my college degree when it's warmer in the spring time and after I graduate by summer time, I'll be out of these snowy cities from hell for good. Yay!)

[Note, I don't actually live in the Andes, lol.]

Roll on April

Yes. This is the first year I just want to put a stop to this winter business. This fall business too. Maybe a trip way down south is in order.

Summer, stay away. You had your chance a month ago, and you blew it.

Where do you live? In the middle of the Mojave Desert?

Or is it rather in the middle of boredsville in the state of Can't-wait-til-School-Starts? lol

Summer's too hot.

I live a hundred miles south of Seattle.

Tacoma or Olympia? Cool.

I live 300 miles east of Seattle, which means I get a ton more snow than you do.

Olympia. You are a lot closer than I thought you were. I've been through Eastern Washington, Idaho's panhandle, and Montana. Definitely much colder than here.

Except when the wind chill or precipitation is bad, I actually do pretty well wearing shirts in freezing weather. Frostbite is also problematic.

And you were a lot closer than I thought you were! For a while, I thought you were in California, lol.

I used to live in Seattle when I was attending uni there, and you guys over there on the west definitely have the better weather of the two halves. I lol'd when the news called a "2 inch" sprinkling of snow in Seattle a "snow storm" and it stuck for a week, and people were sliding off the road thinking the speed limit meant the minimum speed limit.

I like to use my location for entertainment purposes. It's actually because of you that it says UC Sunnydale.



Ah, yes. The snowpocalypse, or snowmageddon effect. It's really funny watching people complain over the tiniest amount of snow. Here, we got more like six inches and that's still pretty lightweight.

I remember being on a bus once in Portland, having purchased some clothes for a job interview (almost but did not quite get the job - was perfect for me too - I'd basically use google to assist my boss with research, but her employer decided she didn't need an assistant after all). Anyway, it starts snowing and gets maybe half a centimeter at best, and this bus actually went sliding off the road because the driver didn't slow down. Fortunately, he stopped without incident.

Ain't early spring such a brilliant time of the year? *sigh!*

I love it so much when Christmas is all over, and life is back to normal again, and once January has passed you know that the whole spring is right before your eyes! Shops start selling summer clothes, the nights are drawing out, the weather starts getting wamrer (we seem to get spring-like weather in February and March now), so you know it's the longest possible time 'til next winter.

I'll tell you an irritating fact about winter - you get 2 a year! If somebody said, ''in the winter of 2010....'' somebody could say, ''the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2010?'' So you've just got to say the actual month, whereas all the other seasons are in the same year without being broken up. Winter may have 3 months like the others, but it seems like more.

The September of last year, my friend was going back to New Zealand, and she said that she won't get winter now 'til June. I was like, ''you're so lucky!'' Now her winter is just over so she's got summer to look forward to again.

Roll on spring!

I loathe summer.
Truly.
It's hot and bright,
with people running around nearly-naked
looking at me weirdly if I don't...
ugh.

I love winter- snow, less light, cold, sweaters... bring it on.

yeah brother summer should be voted as the worst season invented.

The weather is awesome here right now. I can actually leave the windows open and be comfortable.

Nah, our weather has been extremely laggy. It only started being the correct temperature and weather yesterday. I live in the Portland metro area.

Agreed. It's pure hell. Can't wait for January blizzards! I love the way snow looks when it is falling and when it blankets the ground. The ice crystals shimmer in the sunlight and the sky is such a vivid hue. It's totally amazing. The long icicles hanging from roofs. I love everything about winter!
